Design

The new Nissan Pathfinder has a rugged look, with chunky, modern lines and prominent fender flares. Its squared-off grille is bookended by large chrome trim pieces. Standard LED headlights and taillights, floating C-pillars, and U-shaped side design elements complete the Pathfinder's handsome appearance. 

Interior

Take a seat in the new Nissan Pathfinder and you'll be pleased with how whisper-silent it is inside. A healthy amount of cabin insulation keeps it quiet as a cat. The Pathfinder has a curvy dash with uniquely shaped interlocking air vents and a space-saving electronic shifter on the center console. Base models have cloth upholstery and soft plastic interior trim, while higher models have leather seats and brushed bronze metallic accents.

There's plenty of room inside the new Nissan Pathfinder to kick back and relax. It has 148 cubic feet of passenger volume in its three rows of seats, which seat seven or eight people depending on the configuration. Drivers who often go camping or vacationing will appreciate that the Pathfinder has 16.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, 45 cubic feet of room behind the second row, and over 80 cubic feet of space with both rear rows folded.
